Soybeans in Ontario
"Soybeans • in Ontario" is the tithl
of a very interesting pamphlet pre-
. pared by Professors W'. J. Squirrell
-and J. Laughland of the Department
•of Field Husbandry, 0.A.C., copies
of which are obtainable through your
"local agricultural representative. Say-
-beans were first tested at 0. A. C. in
1893 and distributed for co-operative
tests to farmers in 1901. There area
many purposes for which soybeans
on be grown. As a supplemental bay
•erop they have an important place. In
-yield and quality of fodder the crop
ranks high, and being a legume, say;
'beans are beneficial to the land. The
seed is the richest protein -producing
grain that can be grown in this pro-
vince. It also yields a large amount
of oil which has a wide commercial
use. The cake or meal obtained from
the processing of soybeans to extract
the oil is an excellent high- protein
concentrate whieh can be used with
good results in balancing rations for
live stock. "3.6
Study Markets Closely
Marketing conditions and systems
have been radically changed by truck
transportation and jobbers who own
trucks.
There is no doubt that the truck
has extended markets to growers.
Some recent oceurrenees show the
disadvantages, not so much of the
truck as a means of transportation
but of jobbers. There are eases where
'these men have taken advantage of
growers who have not up-to-date
knowledge of markets. ' As an exam-
pie of this night be noted, an early
carrot grower in Southwestern On-
tario was approached by a buyer who
owns his own truck. This particular
grower did not have up-to-date know-
ledge of the markets and took what
the trucker offered. The grower.
much to his sorrow, later learned
that he geld hie carrots at one-third
'the market price,
It.would seem that growers who
are selling their m•oducts to truckers
should study markets very closely, set
their prices according to these mar-
kets and holding for that•amount.

Kent and Essex ,Counties; with a
sprinkling in Middlesex, Lambton,
Norfolk and Elgin. 'Representatives
from these counties met reeentiy to
consider the problem. Dr. G. H.
Berkley, pathologist, of. the Dominion
laboratory at St. Catharines, and
Prof, Davies of the Department of
Entomology_ at 0.A.C., were present
to give information to the represen-

-Stewart's Disease is a, bacterial type,
attacking the vascular bundles of the
plant stem and clogging, un the duets;
carrying moisture and food to the
leaves. These subsequently wither
and the plant dies. The disease
works fast, killing the plant in three
days after the infection becomes'ap-
parent. The disease centre was es-
tablished by minute yellow speck,"
comprising the disease areas on the
root bundles, Instructions for con-

Petate Gathering •
.Friday, July 22, marked an event
of unusual interest to the potato
growers of Ontario, when a "field
day" was held at Manvers by the On-

ecnjuction with the Central Ontario
Potato Growers' •Ass'n. Over 100 at-
tended this fnrrc£ioli, and enjoyed sl
splendid program including the in-
spection of several potato fields and
the discussion of potato diseases.
A most edifying talk was delivered
by John Tucker, chief Of certified
seed inspectors for the Dominion.
Another address to receive particular
appreciation was that of J. T. Cassin,

"TAE ROAD TO PROSPERITY"
The proponents of the Moderation
League have graciously carte to the
rescue of the ImperialConferenceet
al with a scheme to. arrest the 'de-
clining trade of Ontario. In the
July issue of theie.peper, mistakenly
called "New Business," (it should
have been called "New Business,")
there is a paragraph headed "The
Road to Prosperity.'. In it some one
indulges in a pipe dream as to the
prosperity that is to "come to On-
tario if she will only loosen up on
beer and wine. The writer states
"The resultant stimulus to trade
would be enormous." Yes, but to
what trade? •
Quebec is the shining example of
the way to sell liquor. You can get
it in taverns, restaurants and groc-
ery stores. It could scarcely be freer.
The nature of the resulting stimul-
us to trade may be judged by the
record of commercial failures taken
from Bradstreets. Ontario had in
1931 a populhtion 19 per cent larger
than Quebec and might be expected
to have 19 per cent more failures.
The record frorn 1921 to 1930 is a0
follows;

There was an old geezer,
And he had a lot of sense;
Ile' started up a business
On a dollar and eighty cents.
The dollar wentstock
And the eighty for an ad.
That ,brought' three lovely ,dollars'
In a day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods
And- a Iittle more space,
And he played that system
With a 'sinile on his face,
The customers flocked
To his two by four.
And he soon had to hustle
For a regular store:
Up on the square
Where the' people- pass,
He grabbed up a corner
That was all plate glass,
He -. fixed •up the Windows
With the best that he had,
And told .a11 about it
Iia half page ad.
He soon 'had 'em coming,
But he never, . neVer quit;
And he wouldn't cut down ,

And he's keptthings humping

And everyone calls him

PACK TRAIL TRIPS IN THE
CANADIAN ROCKIES
A trip with saddle horse and pack
train through the Canadian Rockies
opens up a way to new experiences
and to wonderful scenery that can
be viewed in' no other way. Expert
guides competent help and sure -footer'
horses make these trips, that cross
trails followed by prospectors and
freighter's in the days of the early
gold rushes, more enjoyable and less
hazardous than those of the pioneers.
These pack trail trips are becom-
ing quite popular. Unfamiliarity
with pack -saddles, cinches and the
intricacies of the diamond hitch may
have in the past deterred many from
those mysteries of the pack trail.
Outings of several weeks may be
made free from bothersome details as
outfitters provide for every contin-
gency leaving the traveller free to
enjoy the scenery, the fishing, camp
life arrd the sensation of participat-
ing in, something new and untried,
The organizing of these trips with
saddle and pack horses is necessar-
ily a highly specialized business, for
the safety and comfort of the party
must be assured as well as the pro-
viding of all means by which the
trips may be made enjoyable and
memorable, The outfitter must
supply wellebroken saddle horses,
selected for their ability to tread the
mountain trails, ford streams and
pick their way around boulders and
ever dcadfallswith almost uncanny
intelligence. Grace and speed aro
not the highest points in the choosing
of a goocl pack Horse as travelling
these trails is not by hard and fast
rules. The average day's travel is
fifteen roles, and cane is usually
made at any spot where there is
wood, water, and a sufficient supply
of feed for the Horses.
The outfitters supply tents, equip-
ment and provisions for the trip ar
well as experienced guides and com-
petent help. Personal equip.
ment and beds, . however, must
be taken ;in by the in-
dividual, and in regard to beds it
might be well to mention in passing
that the eider down sleeping bag
and an air mattress have been found
to be the most suitable- for ,packing
on horses and for comfort at night.
The provision list is made up -of a
greater variety than is usually car,
riecl on a canoe trip, Canned goods
and fresh vegetables are indicated in
the four pounds per day which is . the
average weight of food consumed by
each member of the party on these
trips. Labour, food, horses, equip-
ment other than personal supplies.
and beds are usually supplied at a
contract rate which is -regulated to e
certain extent by,time size of the par-
ty and the duration of the trip.
The trips, are almest"•iltpossible to
describe in words alone, as the trails
wind through the valleys, along the
bases of mountains, across streams,
hrough sweet -scented woods and up
ye -wind-swept hills with an accom-

NO REAL EVIDENCE THAT
REVEALS ORIGIN OF GOLF
The only facts definitely establish-
ed concerning the game of golf are
that the game, in Borne primitive
form, was played in Holland at an
early date and that it was developed
in Scotland before the middle'of the
Fifteenth century into a ,popular
gave. • An act of the Scottish par-
liament in 1457 was directed against
the playing of this sport as interfer-
ing with the important practice of
ar:hery. 01d Attach paintings show
that the Dutch ased posts instead of
holes in splaying their "Kolf" or
"Kolfje." ' This naine,is derived'from
I
a word signifying "small club."
Janes IV of Scotland played the
game about the ,year 1500 and made
it a royal as well as ancient game.
There are other claims about the or,
igin of golf -that are: not so well
substantiated. One is that it was
played by the Chinese as early, as
1100 B.C. another is that it was
played in Ireland in the time of St.
Patrick. Another claims that the,
Roman game of "pagania," •' played
with e crooked stick and a leather
ball stuffed with feathers, resembled,
golf. A game- Balled bandy -ball or
cam.buca, jzlayed in England since
Edward III's reign, has also been
mentioned in this connection, though
it appears to be more like hockey,.
